It took all weekend, but I was finally able to get my blog updated to the (almost) latest version of blogCFC. It looks like I wasn't the only one who had a hard time with the upgrade. Admittedly, my troubles were all self inflicted as I had quite a bit of customization to both the look and feel, and some code I had in place to manage two blogs from a single codebase.

If you don't use WinMerge, I suggest taking a look. Without a diff/merge tool like this, it would have taken me a heck of a lot longer to perform the upgrade.

So far, everything with 5.1 seems to be working ok. I had some errors from the Yahoo slurp spider trying to follow my Print links. Not sure why it's doing that as the links are clearly labeled NOFOLLOW.

Simeon's Gravatar I went through this process this weekend as well, but never ended up pushing up my changes. I use svn to do the hard part of this for me. I use Vendor Branches (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07s05.html) to keep rays code in my repository and then just merge his changes into my code base. I had 3 conflicts that I had to manage but it took all of about 3 minutes to make the changes.

Vendor Branches have saved my hide on more than one occasion. Its great for websites that use a cms editor or any one elses software as a dependency.

Rob Brooks-Bilson's Gravatar Thanks Sim, I'll have to check that out. Winmerge was very helpful in my case, as there were literally hundreds of changes from the files other than the main blog.cfc.

Ryan Hartwich's Gravatar If you haven't tried Winmerge, check out a quick review of it at: http://www.fusionauthority.com/Reviews/4632-A-Revi...

Its a pretty easy to use and small program for comparing 2 files (or directories).

Rob Brooks-Bilson's Gravatar Hi Ryan,

I've been a long time Winmerge user. It's absolutely indispensible!
